Hi everyone,

So went to see speech therapist today and she spotted swelling at the front of my neck , called in my CNS just to confirm it was Lymphedema, so have been put on waiting list to go to the clinic.

In the meantime is there anyone out there who have had this diagnosis and got some ideas to keep it at bay ? Many thanks

At my second review lymphedema was noticed, I was shown how to drain it by massage....worked well.

I recognised that I had this and was seen very quickly. Advised on how to do self drainage massage and that worked remarkably well coupled with a compression neck gaiter. I still get some trouble nowadays and will often be found sitting in a meeting or a restaurant doing the self massage - it is easy to do and relatively inconspicuous.

Hi Mark,
Look for Cancer Rehab PT on YouTube - Kelly has some excellent videos.
